Brows not matching? Lip lines going over the edge? Practice tracing on screen, then check your scores and a tip for your next attempt. Undo a stray stroke, change your approach, and try again. TRACE BOTH BROWS Choose from six eyebrow shapes and draw each side with Hair Stroke, Pencil, or Pomade brushes. Adjust stroke length and select from ten brow colors. Check separate scores for shape, symmetry, and coverage. PRACTICE LIP LINES AND FILLING Explore four lip shapes, Matte, Gloss, and Liner brushes, and ten lip colors. Trace the outline and fill it in, then review outline, fill, and precision scores. Undo the last stroke or clear the canvas to try another approach. SEE WHAT TO PRACTICE NEXT Get a tip based on the lower-scoring part of your attempt. Retry the current template or move to the next shape. Your three most recent results and personal bests are saved on this device. FIT A ROUND INTO A SMALL BREAK Use untimed practice or the 30-Second Challenge. Draw with your finger on iPhone or iPad, or use Apple Pencil on a compatible iPad. All shapes, brushes, colors, and practice modes are included. No account or ads. Available in English, Korean, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese. This is on-screen drawing practice with fixed templates. It does not scan faces, offer virtual try-on, analyze makeup on your face, or reproduce the feel of real skin. An internet connection is needed to load the interface.
